02

Set Up Your Identity ๐Ÿ‘ค

Tell the Bee who you are. This only takes a few minutes and you never have to do it again.

1

Open the Dashboard

Click the SnapFill Pro bee icon in your toolbar. In the popup, click 'Open Dashboard'. This opens the full extension dashboard in a new tab โ€” your command centre.

2

Add a User

In the Dashboard, click '+ Add New' and enter your name. SnapFill Pro supports multiple users on the same browser โ€” useful if you share a device.

3

Create a Role Profile

Go to the Role Profiles tab. Click 'Create Profile' and name it after your target role โ€” for example, 'Senior Data Engineer' or 'Frontend Developer'. This profile stores your tailored content for that job type.

๐Ÿ’ก Pro tip: If you're targeting multiple roles or industries, create a separate profile for each. The AI uses only the active profile's content when generating cover letters and answers.
03

Connect Your AI Brain ๐Ÿง 

SnapFill Pro uses a BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) model โ€” you plug in your own free API key. Your key stays in your browser, never our servers.

Why Google Gemini? You already have a Gmail account, which means you already have access to a free Gemini API key. No billing setup, no credit card. Gemini Flash is fast enough for real-time drafting and free enough that even heavy users don't hit limits.

Go to AI Brain Settings

In the Dashboard, click 'AI Brain Settings' in the left sidebar. This is where you configure your AI provider and paste your key.

Paste & Save

Back in AI Brain Settings: select 'Google Gemini' as the provider, paste your key into the API Key field, and click Save. You'll see a green 'Connected โœ“' status when it's working.

Build Your Portfolio ๐Ÿ—๏ธ

The more you feed the Dashboard, the less you'll ever type on a job portal again.

1

Add Your Employment History

Add Your Top Projects

4

Add Certifications (Optional)

If you have professional certifications (AWS, GCP, Terraform, etc.), add them in the Certifications tab. SnapFill tracks expiry dates so you're never caught with a lapsed credential on your application.

Choose Your Resume Strategy ๐Ÿ“„

SnapFill Pro supports two approaches. You can use both โ€” they're not mutually exclusive.

๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ

Master Resume (Autofill)

Upload your polished PDF resume once. SnapFill will autofill resume upload fields across every job portal automatically. On the fly, you can also rename the file strategically โ€” e.g., SoftwareEngineer_Google_YourName.pdf โ€” without touching the original.

1. Go to Dashboard โ†’ Your Profile
2. Upload your master resume PDF

Power User Tips ๐Ÿ’Ž

Once you're comfortable with the basics, these features give you a serious edge.
